If There Is A Spark, Keep Going
In electrical work, sparks can potentially ruin equipment, or signal progress. A spark,
in literary terms, means that there is a point where one can elaborate and continue the thought to
further details and enhance the thought into greater emphasis. One of the main issues that has been
introduced while writing my papers is to continue that spark and keep going. A spark usually means
things are going the way they should, and that’s where a single thought can trigger more sparks that
can correlate to the main idea. For example, if there are constant sparks from a power source, more
than likely, one of the issues is from connecting negative and positive ends into the wrong terminals, …show more content…
When compiling thoughts, the paper is driven by a single
speculation, or a thesis, and expanded upon throughout the rest of the body paragraphs. In this
course, I have found that using one thorough thesis statement and elaborating on that is far superior
than many unexplained thoughts. Without having a concise thesis, the paper turns out to be
scattered, with sparks flying everywhere without a true solution.
“The Shining” by Stanley Kubrick is a film that contains several tiny sparks that can
be explained upon after further analysis. At first glance, the movie is only about a family whose dad
when psycho after being isolated for an extended period of time. When watching "The Shining" with
an open mind, there are many concepts which could be expounded upon on by noting the small
details throughout the film. Some of the small things are the numbers 42 and 21, the appearance of
Indian remembrance many times throughout the movie, and the mysterious placements of objects
and rooms inside of the Overlook Hotel. Most people don’t realize that this movie is more than just a
film, but it is a mind game. Once the spark of realizing that this masterpiece of cinematography …show more content…
Whether it is lack of proofreading leading
to typing “oh” instead of “on”, or leaving a complete thought unexplained, I fail to leave my essays
error-free. After noticing how much proofreading can be achieved after reading a paper several
times, it has taught me the “24-hour rule.” This rule encompasses to write a paper, and then 24
hours later, edit it. In high school, I did not believe that said rule was a benefit to my writing, but
trying it for myself, it makes perfect sense. I never realized how many errors I skip over when I read
a paper I just wrote because of how familiar I am with the writing. That also explains why peer
editing is a fantastic benefit to my paper; the reviewer has never seen my work and has a blank state
of mind when editing. Therefore, the errors that they encounter compared to how many I encounter
are exponential. After going through the editing done by a peer, I notice those and correct them
accordingly, but there is more to it than just editing a paper. Familiarizing myself with those
corrections makes me a better editor as I now know how to better correct other’s works of
